Uphill with Laura Westring Laura Westring

I speak to Wouter, a Dutch renewable energy expert and Marion, a French Army Reservist about getting married during a global pandemic and what it's like to begin a long-distance romance from a military base in Kabul.

I speak to Dan, a professional speechwriter and tech communications strategist who is a citizen of Hungary, Switzerland and Israel, about growing up in the West Bank, overcoming the international bureaucracy of surrogacy and starting a business while parenting two beautiful twin boys in Berlin.

I talk to Grace, an Indian-Persian-British-immigrant to America and MIT Sloan Fellow working for the world's biggest internet companies in California, about her first visit to a pub, overt racism in the UK workplace and why she'd be happy to die tomorrow (though we certainly hope she doesn't).

I talk to Olof, an Irish Viking, speechwriter and elderly Gaelic football player in Brussels, about broken collar bones, Brexit and growing up on Clare Island.

I talk to Jennifer, multilingual Scottish-Iranian American and digital media strategist to Fortune 500 brands, about California wildfire smoke, moving to Idaho during a pandemic and how to get the middle seat on a fourteen-hour flight to Korea.

I talk to Vincenzo, Italo-Scot, former political aide and teacher of languages at one of the UK's top schools, about Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Hamilton, chip shops and career change.
